In addition to the other response you got already:

Please note that some of the licenses of software included in Debian
carry additional obligations, like the distribution of source code.

https://www.debian.org/intro/free

Please read and comply with the Debian trademark policy:

https://www.debian.org/trademark

Please consider getting yourself added to our list of preinstallers:

Which additional programs are you planning on including?

Please consider contributing packages of those programs to Debian.

Debian is a Free GNU/Linux Distribution. You may sell any system having
Debian installed on it.

The only thing you need to care about is not infringing the license of
the software you'll distribute.

Permission to distribute

[John Lee]

Hello Debian Team,

I just wondered if I can sell computers that I build with Debian Linux
pre-installed. The computers may also include programs I create. I tried to
find the answer to this question but still unsure.

If you need more details please let me know. Any information is greatly
appreciated! Thanks!

Sincerely,
John Lee
